What’s Buzzin’?

It’s a great year for Gracenote. Not only have they official signed with Universal Records, but they released a new song under their label—much to the surprise of Gracians! "Baso At Bote" is the first single off their upcoming album Small World, which the band explains is a fresh take of a “combination of everything” they’ve put out. Stream "Baso At Bote" on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, and all major streaming platforms.

Speaking of Spotify, now’s the perfect time for new users to get Spotify Premium. Not only will they get access to 50 million on-demand and ad-free tracks as well as access to 450,000 podcast titles, but they’ll get them free of charge for the first three months of their subscription. That’s two months longer than its previous offer of 30 days for free! This first three months for free offer is always-on/not limited time, and will roll out across Spotify Premium plans globally, which includes Individual, Student (where available), Family (where available), and Duo (where available) in the coming months.

Contemporary artist Dex Fernandez, film director Treb Monteras II, musicians IV of Spades, and fashion-forward siblings Daryl and André Chang are creative Filipino geniuses—so much that the impact they’ve made in their respective fields inspired The Reno Collective, a video series launched by Oppo in time for the release of their Oppo Reno and Reno 10x Zoom cameras. Each video tells the story of their creative journeys and how the power of technology helped further their artistic visions.
